Artificial intelligence is now making its way into the world of personal handwriting.
Handwrytten, a Phoenix-based company, specializes in creating handwritten notes for businesses and individuals who want to add a personal touch to their correspondence. In today’s digital age of emails, text messages, and social media, the art of handwritten letters, thank-you cards, and invitations has somewhat been forgotten.

Handwrytten’s products stand out from generic cursive fonts found in word processing software. They are written with a Pilot G2 pen and blue ink. The company’s 175 robots are capable of writing 10,000-20,000 cards per day, each with a unique handwriting style, ranging from Bounding Bernie to Carefree Kate and Dapper Will.
FOX Business spoke with CEO David Wachs, who established the company in 2014, about how Handwrytten leverages artificial intelligence.
Is AI ADA compliant?
To create a realistic appearance, technology and coding are utilized to ensure that the notes and letters have imperfections, such as slightly uneven left margins and variations in line spacing. These elements contribute to a more authentic and human-like look. AI also plays a role through a process called warping, which replicates the subtle and random shifts between words that naturally occurs in human handwriting.

AI is also utilized for quality assurance. Wachs humorously mentioned that when they were only writing 100 notes, they could easily perform quality assurance themselves. However, with tens of thousands of notes, this is no longer possible. AI now handles quality checks, ensuring that the correct names are included, the ink does not run out, and the notes do not get ruined in case of accidental contact with the robots.
In addition, Handwrytten offers a ChatGPT interface called the Handwrytten AI Assistant for those who struggle to write notes. Users can request the system to generate a note and then make adjustments according to their preferences, saving them time.
Handwrytten offers a wide range of themed cards, including thank-you cards, condolences, graduation, and new baby cards. Customers can even include gift cards for retailers like Home Depot, Amazon, Target, and Starbucks.
For seamless integration, Handwrytten works with various systems such as Shopify, HubSpot, Zapier, Salesforce, and more. In addition to the 30+ handwriting styles available, customers have the option to recreate their own personal handwriting, although this customization requires custom coding and may cost $1,000 or more.
